Upon updating a vangelis zynthian I have been consistantly failing on .
May 05 09:43:24 zynthian-cajon3 zynthian_webconf.sh[1789]: error: failed to open file /usr/local/lib/lv2/TheUsualSuspects.tar.xz.1/manifest.ttl (Not a directory) May 05 09:43:24 zynthian-cajon3 zynthian_webconf.sh[1789]: lilv_world_load_file(): error: Error loading file `file:///usr/local/lib/lv2/TheUsualSuspects.tar.xz.1/manifest.ttl’ May 05 09:43:24 zynthian-cajon3 zynthian_webconf.sh[1789]: lilv_world_load_bundle(): error: Error reading file:///usr/local/lib/lv2/TheUsualSuspects.tar.xz.1/manifest.ttl
I have removed the last_State.zss and this has, at least, allowed the machine to boot to something that allows selection of an engine and a chain, but webconf resolutely refuses to start complaining of the above error.
Yes, I’ve been following the birds and butterflies down the meandering path and it does all seem to beheading into Privateer ROM territory.
Seems a fairly heavy dependence pretty high up in the lv2 gathering, so perhaps I’m being punished for using a concept name, frequently, without digging down to the bottom of it.
I’m not sure if I understood the flowery language. So I might be guessing. The TUS plugins require the original software of the respective synthesizers; perhaps uninstalling these plugins will help.
I’ll burn a clean SSD from something pretty recent and give the backup/restore mechanism some use on a completely new build. Vangelis is still R&D and the occasional rebuild is part of the journey for me, cos I muck around a lot. But I do like to try to breath a bit of life into a dying system just to see if something can be learnt.
Since this is on the cajon and it goes out to do drumming circles occasionally, there is the basic reverb on internal mic rig to preserve.
I tend to run cutting edge in live to keep the developer’s honest and see what can be achieved. But once in a while the machine needs to be re built from scratch, based on something I’ve done. My rack machine is up to rack7, but still maintains a large library of material, that I use in various scenarios.
It works for me, but I wouldn’t recommend it for others.
I don’t know if the issue is somehow related, but - as reported before in the general Vangelis thread -, I also got irregular behaviour from TUS plugins after one of the latest updates. Namely, Osirus ROM banks and presets aren’t shown anymore on Zynthian (even after regenerating them from developers repo), and some Osirus presets seem to suffer from random and non-reproducible instability of certain parameter settings.
So I might be guessing. The TUS plugins require the original software of the respective synthesizers; perhaps uninstalling these plugins will help.
